<p>What are your single sitting composite scores (better with breakdown)? UMich does not superscore.</p>

3

<p>Computer science in CoE or LSA?</p>

4

<p>You’re lacking a lot of information for me to give you a chance</p>

5

<p>Most important, are you from in state? If not, you are likely a low reach to reach disregarding which school as your single sitting SAT is below 2000.</p>

6

<p>His profile says he’s from North Carolina. And yeah, entenduintransit’s question about CoE or LSA CS is important.</p>

7

<p>I know he wants to go to UNC, but it is not clear if NC is his home state. Anyway, SAT 2000 is below 25% admission stat of 2013 even for LSA.</p>

8

<p>Michigan doesn’t superscore. However, I have heard that they look more closely at your Math score in SAT/ACT. </p>

<p>Anyways looks like you’re better off applying to LSA.</p>

<p>They do (and most school too) look at section scores for sure, but the admission stat is referring to their way of scoring. Mid 50 SAT for 2013 was 2030-2250. If it is supercore to make it 2000, the highest single sitting score must below 2000. Being oos and has SAT below 25% with an average admission GPA, you do need to have something really standing out to be accepted. Anyway, LSA is definitely much easier than CoE or Ross for admission, but the difference is low reach and reach.</p>

10

<p>His previous posts in the UNC forum specifically list him as a resident of North Carolina, so he’s an out-of-state student. </p>

<p>Anyway, OP, I would agree with others: it’s probably a low reach for you. It would be helpful to know your best single sitting of the SAT.</p>
